FIRST Team 1610, the "Builders of Tomorrow," was founded in 2005 with the help of nearby FIRST Robotics Team 616 who were regional finalists in 2004. Our first competition was the 2005 NASA/VCU Regional playing Triple Play with our robot "MB". After the qualification rounds we seeded in the top 8, picked our friends 616 and Hawaii 510 as alliance partners, and went all the way to compete in the semi-finals. We also took home the Highest Rookie Seed and Rookie All-Star awards. Winning the Rookie All-Star award gave us a ticket to play at the FIRST World -Championship in Atlanta, Georgia, where we finished with a 5-2-0 record in the Curie Division.

Coming off an awesome rookie season, we didn't slow down and started preparing for the 2006 season. The nearby team that helped to get us started dissolved over the summer and we were left to fend for ourselves. We competed in the 2006 NASA/VCU Regional playing Aim High with our robot "Trouble." We seeded 7th/64 teams with a record of 7-1-0, teamed up with Metal-In-Motion 343 and Team Talon 1598 for the tournament. Our alliance went undefeated through the quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals, earning our alliance the 2006 NASA/VCU Regional Championship. |
